Kayakapi Premium Caves Cappadocia
The neighborhood where Kayakapi makes its home, high in the hills of Ürgüp, has long been considered a privileged place to lay one’s head. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the area was adorned with the mansions owned by those given the lucrative role of collecting taxes on behalf of the emperor. Today the spirit of the area is a bit more democratic, but it still bears the architectural remnants of its rich history. And although certainly not untouristed, Kayakapi’s broader hometown of Ürgüp is generally considered the quieter alternative to Göreme proper. Here, the ancient streets between the centuries-old churches, mosques and homes offer a bit more ambling room, and the hotels are sprinkled more lightly across the slopes.
In the rooms, the furnishings are rich but lightly applied, an elegant wooden bed and occasional intricately patterned rug going a long way in such striking surroundings — all warm, low light and carved stone. Not that it’s back to the stone age, exactly; underfloor heating, ample wi-fi signals, high-definition LED screens and docks for your iDevices all come standard. Some rooms add deep, natural stone bathtubs and cozy fireplaces, while at the top of the scale there are heated pools and private balconies. The latter are perfect for surveying the region’s strange geological formations, especially when they’re bathed in pastel-hued afternoon light. It’s a different perspective on the rock chimneys, the mountains and valleys, the cave-pocked hills — but still, the view is timeless.
How to get there:
Kayakapi Premium Caves — Cappadocia is located in Ürgüp, 12 miles east of Nevşehir. Free shuttle service to Ürgüp’s city center is available upon request. The drive from Nevşehir Airport takes about 45 minutes, while the drive from Kayseri Erkilet Airport takes about an hour.

Staff were friendly
Everything was awesome. Very scenic and serene. All the employees were very welcoming and warm. Rooms were great.
Huge rooms (ours had a hamam!), lovely pool and spa area as well as a great breakfast. What really made our experience was the staff - everyone from the guest relations team who organized a magical balloon ride and superb horseback trip to their colleagues at the restaurant, spa and those helping with luggage - the team at Kayakapi is phenomenal.
Great location, views and beautiful rooms.
